1. Ring armour

   Ring armour (ring mail) is an assumed type of personal armour constructed as series of metallic rings sewn to a fabric or leather foundation. No actual examples of this type of armour are known from collections or archaeological excavations in Europe. It is sometimes called ringmail or ring mail. In the Victorian era the term "mail" was used fancifully for any form of metallic body armour. Modern historians reserve the term "mail" for armour formed of an interlinked mesh of metal rings.The Bayeux Tapestry has been misinterpreted as depicting several different types of armour. It is generally acknowledged today that virtually all the armour on the tapestry is standard mail armour and not "ring mail", "trellised mail" or "mascled mail" or any other Victorian misinterpretation.

1. ring armour

   Ring armour, also known as chainmail or simply mail, is a type of armour that consists of small metal rings linked together in a pattern to form a mesh. This type of protective clothing was commonly used by various ancient and medieval societies as it provided a significant level of protection from cutting attacks, while still allowing good flexibility and range of movement. Some common forms of ring armour include shirts, coifs, and hauberks. The rings could be either riveted together or closed by simply overlapping the ends, with the former providing better protection.

   Ring armour is an assumed type of personal armour constructed as series of metallic rings sewn to a fabric or leather foundation. No actual examples of this type of armour have ever been found on European archaeological findings. It is sometimes called ringmail or ring mail. In the Victorian era the term "mail" was used for any form of metallic body armour. Modern historians reserve the term "mail" for chain mail and its varieties, specifically an interlinked mesh of metal rings. The Bayeux Tapestry depicts some of these methods and this has been misinterpreted as different types of armour. It is generally acknowledged today that virtually all the armour on the Bayeux Tapestry is standard chain mail and not "ring mail" or "trellised mail" or "mascled mail" or any other Victorian construction.
